    Because Hasbro wants to promote the shit out of the new show.

    I like the transforming one's proportions better than the fancy $$$ one

    Yeah, the CAD models aren't fantastic.

    Looking at you, Not Overlord.

    Though I personally really like Prime's, and it's entrance into a higher end physical form looks VERY enticing, haha.

    I wouldn't be surprised if it just stays the way that we've seen it go as of late. Though it wouldn't be Rooster Teeth's first foray with shoddy scripting and animation.

    I'm gonna leave this here for now, and just direct you to Siege's actual thread for what I was ORIGINALLY gonna put here. Since I don't wanna muddy this thread up, haha.

    It seems that Hasbro/ Takara Tomy is willing to only license the characters out to other figure makers as long as the DON'T make transforming Transformers. Hasbro/ Takara are the only ones who can OFFICIALLY make Transformers that convert.

    I\'m not the only one that doesn\'t understand why this figure even exists, right

    This is like the Steet Fighter The Move The Game of Transformers merch. First the toy. Then an anime based on the toy. Then the toy based on the anime based on the toy. It\'s all pretty dumb.

    Because people who want a high end version of this character, who would trade off a transformation for insane articulation, will pay money to own it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I have the cell shaded version of the mold and with all that kibble easily removed, and the superb coloring, the figure has to be one of if not my favorite Optimus Prime figures from the mainline. It looks phenomenal. Can't say the same about this high end figure that still has all that kibble though...

    right? they could have reduced or removed some of the worst of it. The slab roof backpack was pretty unforgivable on a $30 voyager, it's totally unforgivable on a high-end collectible.

    Creating $200 dollar versions of $20 transforming action figures?

    I guess, but I'd like to know where that DLX Bumblebee Movie Soundwave is at if this is what theyve been spending all that time on.

    I mean the people who like it will buy it and those who dont wont, and 3zero will still make money. So everyone is happy.

    I personally think the voyager is cooler

    Yeah, the final images of Prime still doesn't change my opinion that it seemed like a wasted effort. Oh well. I hope the people who've been saying they like the figure actually buy it so Threezero is kept afloat. I want to see Dropkick and Shatter!

    Megatron looks stellar! I wish we already had a painted prototype though, like for Prime :( .

    Yeah, I was hoping we'd get more Robo-dou this weekend. I just hope he's as big as Prime and Megatron. Eva 1 (9 inches) is going to look so sad with Blitzwing (10 inch) and BB Prime and Nemesis (11 inches) towering over her. Ingram is probably going to be just a bit taller than Bumble Bee, so they'll probably look pretty good together.
